A male Human called Hussef acted as the kind, though unofficial, leader for the refugees located within the refugee sector of Nar Shaddaa. After the conclusion of the Jedi Civil War, numerous refugees ended up on Nar Shaddaa, and Hussef dedicated himself to looking after them by ensuring their unity, safety, and morale.
Their difficulties escalated when a group of displaced veterans originating from Serroco invaded the skyramp, forcibly expelling the refugees. Subsequently, the Exchange further confined them within the cramped compound, effectively imprisoning them under the constant threat of kidnappings and acts of violence. Hussef was of the belief that the Exchange's goal was to crush their spirits, making them easier to sell to the Hutts as slaves, even though the Exchange possessed the power to enslave them all by force if they so chose.
The refugee's situation deteriorated over several months, until the pivotal day when Meetra Surik arrived. Her encounter with Hussef would significantly change the lives of the refugees, and the future of Nar Shaddaa for many years.
In the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords video game, the player, in the role of the Jedi Exile, had the option to converse with Hussef to acquire information about the Exchange and the current situation. Hussef implores the player to assist the refugees by confronting the Serroco gang and the Exchange Overseer Saquesh, which the player could achieve through either diplomatic means or through violence. By undertaking this task, the player could progress the story by provoking the Exchange.
As an alternative, the player had the ability to gain favor with the Exchange by persuading Hussef that the refugees had no other choice but to willingly offer themselves into slavery to the Hutts, after arranging for Geriel to be killed and Adana to be sold to the Hutts.
Despite Hussef having a unique visual design created specifically for his appearance in the video game, Hussef's character is shown as a generic Caucasian Human commoner, most likely due to a programming oversight.
